Hello everyone! Always good to start an intro with a picture :)
My name is Patrick and I'm in Zimmerman, MN. Pretty new to overlanding as I really only heard about it last spring from one of our customers over in the UK.
My current rig is a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee which is doubling as my daily driver. Fairly mild build compared to what I'm used to.
Looking forward to the wealth of information here and to great adventures!
BTW, this is my other rig for those that are wondering what I compare the Grand to :)

Hi everybody! Since I got an awesome welcome on the @overlandbound Instagram account yesterday I suppose I should stop my chronic lurking and post an introduction message!
My name is Brien and I live in Tucson, AZ with my wife and two kids. I'm not new to adventuring, but most of my previous outings have been with canoes or kayaks or on foot. I am new to overlanding. This past summer we picked up a 2016 Jeep JKU Rubicon and we are just starting to set that up for some longer overlanding. We try to take her out as much as we can, right now about 2-3 times a month. My wife and I have decided that for 2017 we're diving head first into as much wilderness as we can.
I've already learned a bunch for this community and am excited to keep absorbing all of your awesome knowledge and hopefully reciprocating by sharing my own, as limited as it is.
Here's our four wheeled baby, we call her Jolene. She likes to play in the rocks, dirt, and sand here in the desert. I wish I had a better recent pic, this is from a couple days ago while airing back up after a day trip up into the snow in the Santa Rita Mountains near where we live.

Hello everyone I'm new to the group.
My name is Chris and I live Rhode Island.
I just retired my old rig and upgraded to a 2017 Subaru Outback 2.5i limited. I plan on keeping the drivetrain and suspension stock. I will be adding a auxiliary electrical system for a fridge, LED light bars and charging port.
I have been traveling all my life. I have been blessed to have parents who love to travel and camp. Before I became an adult my parents took my brother and I all across the US from California to Maine, Florida to Minnesota and most places in between all in a Chevy Astro van pulling a pop-up. Today my wife and I show our daughter the same enthusiasm and excitement for travel and adventure. I'm excited to be a member of this group and look forward to reading about all the adventures everyone is going on. Cheers Chris.

Hey Matthew.... Welcome to OB! It's great having you here and wow, such great rigs!!! I really love your 4Runner and RRS - both so awesome. Love seeing a Toyota/Land Rover family! ;-) Looking forward to keeping in touch.

Welcome to Overland Bound! It's great having you and your wife here and you are both very welcome with whatever rig you have! :-) Ugly Betty is awesome! This is a great group and not everyone has a Toyota and definitely no one will ever laugh at you.
A big heartfelt thank you for your service and sacrifice for all of us - it is so greatly appreciated!
Warmest welcomes.... David

For sure! I was just thinking that myself. There are quite a few Subarus around now. It's awesome seeing folks using them as overland vehicles. So cool!
Im definitely excited to be turned mine into a Overland vehicle!

Since you are in my general area, I wanted to let you know that my brother is a master fabricator and is currently working on various designs for Subarus (roof rack, metal bumpers, tire swing away, etc.). I'll keep you posted!
